St. Louis County Executive Sam Page warned of potential police layoffs if new revenue sources are not found. He cited insufficient funding from Prop P to cover rising police department costs. Page suggested using Rams settlement funds or a new online sales tax as solutions. County Council members dismissed his warning as a "scare tactic" and denied plans for layoffs. The county is facing a significant budget deficit for the upcoming year.
